Philadelphia Eagles fans react to Nelson Agholor’s poor effort

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is hearing it from the fans on Monday morning.

It feels like a yearly tradition that happens far too often around here. Once again, Philadelphia Eagles fans are upset with veteran wide receiver, Nelson Agholor. No, he didn’t drop the ball this time. Instead, he didn’t even attempt to make a catch.

Two weeks ago, it was brought to our attention that Agholor might be the type of receiver who prefers to get a pass interference call in his favor, rather than coming up with a tough catch. Against the New York Jets, Agholor was visibly running through lots of contact.

Carson Wentz decided to air it out to him deep, and Agholor stopped looking for it before the ball even landed. Why did he stop looking, exactly? Because he wanted to get an early start on pleading his case to the ref about there being pass interference involved.

Then, the following week against the Minnesota Vikings, he pretty much did it again. Once contact came about, Agholor gave up on the play and stopped tracking the ball. Now here we are in the third week in a row, and Agholor hears the same criticism, which is absolutely warranted.

Against the Dallas Cowboys, the Eagles wideout had a step on the defender deep, and for whatever reason, pulled his arms back in without making a full effort to try and make the catch. Some say the ball was slightly overthrown, which is true. However, it doesn’t change the fact that Agholor still gave up on it, and didn’t even attempt to try harder to make a catch.

At this point, Philly fans are fed up. First, it was Agholor can’t catch. Now it’s Agholor WON’T catch. Needless to say, Agholor was catching a lot of heat on social media following the game. So let’s check-in on what Eagles fans had to say Sunday night into Monday morning.
